who says ?most games supports both but the thing is they are compiled for win

very well, so you have to get source codes of the game to compile for linux or you need to request form game producer for game complied for linux. But I find its bit difficult.

 

[pga]

sometimes yeah, but most of the times no

configuring samba via GUI is not a difficult task ne machan.
but it may vary according to the Linux distro

Most games don't support both! Games use specific engines, and engines are written for one platform.

Rocket science is for very very little people. And about Samba may be you have done it lots of times before. Just like configure FTP service on windows server for me.

yes you have to start samba server process. it can be done using another GUI which includes processes as i remember.

Its also done. I think still more to do in config files. which i am not expert.

that means you have already started smb service under service configuration?
then try to configure firewall and the samba users.
I didnt edit config files when i worked with samba.

yeah samba service is running, but it has some issue when one tries to connect to that service using a windows machine windows machine simply crashes, I don't know why it happens.

what was the way used to connect the linux machine?

 

[henderson]

what was the way used to connect the linux machine?

just type the ip with two slashes on windows explorer. like connect any other network share

 

[randula01]

thanx bro..............

 

[pga]

just type the ip with two slashes on windows explorer. like connect any other network share

dont type in windows explorer

type in Run,

\\ip

 

[henderson]

dont type in windows explorer

type in Run,

\\ip

ok, I'll check but i'm not sure it makes a difference bcoz it works for all other shares. Why not for linux. And its really bad that the system is restarting when I tried to connect.
